Thanks for putting Luigi back in the news again!
Luigi is innocent! Prove it otherwise, cunts.
Good luck with that! This guy does a saint no matter what heinous shit he does/has done.
They’re gonna a have to try harder lol
Altho isn’t influencing public opinion not part of a prosecutors mission?
Seems like the prosecution isn’t doing their job like they’re supposed to
Also the police
And the mayor
Also that dead CEO guy. He had a job to do. He did it wrong and paid himself instead of paying for people’s health insurance.
That’s why he’s dead
That’s also why they need to “convince” people he’s bad.
Because what he’s accused of doing is extremely popular.
Influencing public opinion is not part of a prosecution’s mission. Their mission is to seek justice and win in court. (Edit: contrary to below, it’s supposed to be overall about justice, which is why prosecutors have discretion to not try cases and have other roles like support of victims)
Trying to influence the public is actually BAD for prosecutors since it can bias a jury pool and cause a court to grant a change of venue.
We don't have a "justice" system. We have a "legal" system. Prosecutors only seek wins (at any cost) - not justice.
That's generous. I'd go with "penal" system, because they only care about taking and punishing. No justice without reform, rehab, and introspection.

"He's not THAT handsome."
-Lead Prosecutor
Mangione for congress
President Luigi
He's not old enough. Let's get Terry Crews in first, then Luigi.
The tv talking heads, with such class, were frothing at the mouth with excitement about Luigi getting beat up and or raped in jail.
Turns out the average person fucking loves the guy and what he stands for, prisoners doubly so.
Lmao its not fucking working
Send more blue shells 🥰
My tears for the healthcare system have been denied due to a pre-existing condition of not giving a dam for the rich. Long live Luigi!
The most important aspect of this that I think most people are missing is that they are specifically trying to bias the public into thinking he definitely did it. There is no "allegedly" in how they've treated him, they are actually using the positive public sentiment about what he did to continue to build the idea that it was definitely him and we don't need to go to court to prove it. The public loving Mangione and believing he definitely did it is actually in many ways beneficial to their case. It helps solidify the idea in the general public eye that "he did it" before any court case has looked at the facts.
I definitely don't. He's a hero because he's innocent and stood bravely against abusive treatment by the state. Too much fuckery for me to believe even hard evidence presented before my eyes. We know when we're being fucked with.
If you were a juror you would have to consider the facts of the case though for sure 👀
Find one person, and I mean one that isn't skewed by knowing the context of the case. Jury nullification is the correct course when it's very, very clear that the prosecution is acting in bad faith. I have no idea the facts, I do know the prosecution is lying about the narrative because we're not stupid.
That's why making sure potential jurors are educated on jury nullification, how it works, and how to not be prematurely dismissed as a juror is so important.
Unfortunately I don’t know what that is and I’m not really a big fan of learning new things
Basically it means that you can return whatever verdict you want as long as you don't say something stupid like "I don't actually believe this by the way."
Innocent until proven guilty, but if you say anything about that they’ll probably nix you from the jury pool so if you get selected just act dumb
My wifes an attorney and has "guilty until proveb innocent" real big on her. Its so f'd up
Spot on.

They couldn’t bias me in his favor any more than I already am. Fail.
Well, good luck. /s
The stupid bastards would have a hard time throwing a stone anywhere in any American city without hitting someone who's been fucked over or had their family damaged/destroyed by an insurance company.
Look to your left. Now look to your right. Now, look at every other person around you. You are all being fucked by the insurance industry.
...instead of Mangione :(

They're not doing a great job with that, ngl
